It’s hard to find an authentic baguette in Paris these days. Much of what is available is mass-produced and trucked to site for sale. There are fewer on-premise bakeries every year. Quel Dommage. Well, at least you can get an authentic, hand-made baguette in Key West. I told you this was Paradise!

Our version of the traditional Ciabatta is a very versatile small, flat loaf. In thin slices, it makes a great dinner bread or for dipping in olive oil. Sliced lengthwise in becomes the basis for grilled pizza. We use Ciabatta for two of our favorite sandwiches, the Ciabatta-Lotta and the Cobba-Lotta.

Our Country Italian is crusty on the outside and airy on the inside. With the flavors of Tuscany itself. Great with wine and cheese, bruschetta, tapanade, or little garlic and olive oil. Perfectly accompanies most anything.

We were forced into the Cuban Bread-making business, when the only Cuban bakery in town closed suddenly this past summer. Cuban bread is a unique product only found in Tampa, Miami and Key West. It makes great sandwiches, but it goes stale very quickly. That’s why it’s the only bread we bake 7 days a week. Our traditional Cuban Bread recipe has earned a spot on the table of the best Cuban Restaurants in Key West. We use it as the basis for our Cuban Mix Sandwich and Cheese Toast.

This is our original Pain au Levain, but we got tired of explaining what the name meant, so now we simply call it French Sourdough. The progenator of this loaf (and don’t ask me to explain that) dates back to the 1980’s.

Our signature bread. We’ve shipped our mango bread to fans all over the country. If you want us to ship to you, call the store, but be forewarned, shipping can be expensive — even better, come to Key West and take some home in your carry-on luggage. Tastes great warm with butter or cream cheese; also makes great French Toast.

Our Rye bread is lighter and more subtle-tasting than your traditional dark rye or pumpernickel breads. We think that’s a good thing. Flavored with Rye Starter and Caraway seeds, our rye bread makes a great sandwich or serve it with butter at your dinner table.

Natural flours, grains and seeds make this dense hearty bread a meal in itself. Great with sandwiches or toasted. Our whole grain is very popular with the many East European immigrants who live in Key West. Just like Babcia used to make.
